As of this weekend it is officially disc golf season. Yesterday Ethan, Cole and I set out for my first round of the year (though it was Ethan’s third… He’s kind of an asshole). As we departed from the liquor store to the course at St. Mary’s University the grey skies indicated that the day might not go our way. We weren’t going to give up at the sight of rain though. A little water we could handle. Before we could make it out of town we were bombarded by marble sized hail. Not like peewee marbles either- I’m talking mashers. In the time it took us to get home the hail had let up and without a second thought we were back on our way to Goodview.
For those unfamiliar with how nature works, the rain left the course extremely muddy. However, getting a little mud on my boots was minor when compared to finally being able to declare winter over. On account of the mud we spent much of the day trying not to but falling over anyway.
As per usual I took a pretty solid lead on the front 9 and racked up much higher numbers on the back end. Ultimately the game ended in a three-way tie after I gave up my one point lead on the 18th. Just sayin’.
After that we made our way to The Great Hunan, which is pretty much the greatest restaurant ever. The ONLY problem I have ever had there is that they don’t offer free refills on soft-drinks. At any other restaurant this would probably be an absolute deal-breaker, but outside of this oversight the food is fantastic and comes at a very reasonable price. Cole didn’t want to come because he prefers Winona Garden’s “like, 300 item” menu. Whatever. I was just going to get orange chicken anyway.
Dropping Cole off at home left us within ten minutes of missing our window to be seated before the kitchen closed, but we made it in time to enjoy some delicious Chinese food with our friend Isaac.
The meal was expectedly delightful and after finishing eating it was time to crack some fortune cookies. I’ve always had a certain affinity for fortune cookies that I can’t really explain. They’re not an especially good dessert, I don’t care for horoscopes and the juxtaposition of these two things is really weird if you think about it, but damned if I don’t love them anyway.
Isaac received a laughably bad fortune that foretold of a generic “social event” in his future. Ethan’s was probably stupid too. I opened this:
Accept something that you cannot change, and you will feel better.
True that.
